SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N0.`782,357, dated February 14, 1905.

' Application inea Mey 25, 1904. serial No. 209,808,

T0l rtZZ whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, CLARA COOPER POGUE, a citizen of the United States. and a resident of St. Louis, in the State of Missouri, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Umbrella-Carriers, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in umbrella-carriers.designed to be attachable to and detachable from a portion of the ap'- parel, as a waist-belt or the like.`

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a front elevation of my new carrier, and Figs.A 2, 3, and 4 are perspective views thereof.

The supporter a I) consists of a strap of leather or like flexible material sewed to the back d of the case c d. The supporter ispro-V vided at its upper part c with a glove-fastener ef, by which the upper end of the supporter after being slipped under the belt and bent over it is secured, thereby securing the carrier to the belt.' l

The case c d comprises the flat back Z and the front part or coverc, The backv d is of leather in a fiat piece, which narrows in width from top to bottom. Along the inclined edges of the back (l are sewed the sides of the cover c, which is formed with a swell g at its central portion designed to conform snugly to the form of the umbrella. As shown in the drawings, the cover curves inwardly toward the back at the edges and then outwardly at the central portion to form the swell g just referred to, and in this Way a spring action is given the cover, whereby it adapts itself readily to different sizes of vumbrellas or to the same umbrella, whether tightly or loosely rolled.

The Hat back d tends to keep the carrierl steady during walking.

About midway of the supporter a I) is sewed at one edge the side of a tab It, adapted and designed to embrace the handle of the umbrella. By means-of the glove-fastener c' the free end of the tab it may be secured to the supporter to hold the handle in position.

What I claim isf As a new article of manufacture,A an umbrella-carrier made up of asupporting-strap and a holding-case attached thereto; said case Ybeing made up of a fiat back which narrows from top to bottom and a cover "stitched to said fiat back along its inclined 4Vedges and curved inwardly from the back at both said edges and outwardly at the central portion to form a swell adapted to clasp the umbrella snugly, substantially as shown and for the purposes set forth.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses. t

CLARA COOPER POGUE.
